Land and Property Records–Part I:\u00a0 Southern Land Records:\u00a0 State-by-State. <\/strong>Consider:\u00a0 when the courthouse burns, how do you prove father-son relationship?\u00a0 Since 393 Southern courthouses have suffered loss of records from fire, flood, storm, chaos or destruction of war, and official carelessness, how do you prove a pedigree?\u00a0 Property ownership is of sufficient importance to every level of jurisdiction, and always has been that essential, property records make up the most consistent, most reliable, most provable record category <\/em>of all.<\/p>\n

Part II:\u00a0 Little-Known and Under-Used Land and Property Records.<\/strong> If you have been seeking your hard-to-find ancestor for 15-20 years–its time you had an “easy button.”\u00a0 Searching the same records other researchers have checked, hoping for a different answer usually doesn’t work.\u00a0 Learn about property sources and records that others before you have not used<\/span>.\u00a0 For the first time, solve your research problems.<\/p>\n
